Well I made the trip to the shop last weekend. I can tell you that his attention to detail is super. Great guy real easy to work with and I am extremly hard to please when it comes to my bike. The seat sits great I'm looking forward to many pain free miles. If anyone is thinking about doing this I'd say go ahead and do it you won't be disappointed.

Thanks for the kind words bro and instead of a beer at MB for bike week I think I am going to need a 1/5 of JB. You saw how many seats were here when you got your seat done...double that...LOL
Beam and Coke it is my friend.

Looking into buying a new 2007 Soft tail custom. It has the big stock barkalounger seat on it. I am 6'1" tall and about 240lbs. I am thinking about getting 3" forward control extentions because it feels a little tight, could you mod the stock seat to avoid having to get the extentions? If so, woudl you recommend moving the seat down and back or just back?

I'm 6'5" tall and would like to know what you can do or how far you can move back and still leave room for the wife. Have you modded any seats for people of my height and if so were they happy with the room they got? Thanks Bill

I was wondering how low and back you can mod a stock 06 1200XLC two up seat. I am 6'5" and 280lbs. Was thinking about getting a new seat but if you can drop me down and back AND increase comfort I'm all for that. Is the memory foam a lot more comfortable than the stock foam?
I would consider all options as long is the comfort is increased!

For anybody still thinking about doing the mod, let me tell you first hand how good it was. Got ready to go to Daytona lasst week from Indiana. Got seat mod back the day before I left and hadnt rode it. Trailered the bike part way until it came loose in the trailer(dont ask) and scuffed my paint a little on a saddle bag latch.. After cussing, throwing stuff, and being severly pi$$ed off, etc, I unloaded in Nashville TN at 10 am and rode mine the rest of the way following everyone else I was with. I would ride 140-160 miles and get gas, hop right back on and keep going. Arrived where I was going ( a relatives) at 8:30 that night. Rode between 700-800 miles one shot and was on the bike for over 10 hours. I am 6' tall and 290 lbs. There is NO WAY I could have done this before the mod. Although it looks stock still, I can tell I am back a little bit, and the seating area is flatter distributing my weight instead of feeling like I was on my tail bone the whole time like before. Since I broke my tailbone in the past, this helped a bunch. Anyways, this was a personal best for me doing 700-800 miles in one whack. Kinda proud of it, can you tell? Left home with 605 miles on the bike, and came home with close to 1900 ... so was a good time. Thanks again to Allen for the superb work. Now, for everyone else, get that seat down to him!

there is alot of reading here.
I am taking delivery of a 07 SG. i have not even rode it yet. but my 96 EG was uncomfortable to ride long distance so i purchased a gel pad to put on top that helped alot. would it be possible to send the seat and the gel pad and have you install it and lower the seat some? i am 6'1" tall but only have a 32" inseam so from the waist down i am like a 5'10" guy and from the waist up i am like a 6'4" guy. i was also hoping to have you narrow and thin the rear part of the seat. then i have a buddy that gave me his RK seat (same seat but diffrent stiching and material) i would like to have you widen the rear seating surface on that one and lower the front seat and add the memory foam all the way through on this one.
and i am not sure if i would want any movement front or backwards.
is this all possible? and what would the seat mod cost on each?
i would have time as i could use each seat while waiting for the other..

Good evening Allen, how goes the new construction? I'm still looking at sending in my Mustang seat as we have discussed, give me the word and let me know the best way to ship it, can't wait for the results.
Thanks.
Gary
